[AuckLUG] ffmpeg confuzzion

[Chilling_Silence]

Hi Ron,

Aside from the usual "You know you'll lose quality" etc, keep in mind with
Ogg you can go smaller filesize whereas a wav will always be much larger.

Try anything, oggenc, mencoder, IIRC videolan client can probably even do it!

Check your distro repos for the aforementioned apps and take it from there

Cheers


Chill.
